He had said he originally planned to return the money so my gut instinct is he's trying to correct this. But then again I have been wrong before.

I agree he wants to correct it, but it doesn't change the facts unfortunately. Like someone else said, robbing a bank then giving back the money doesn't change the fact that you are a thief. I do believe he wants to return it to, but not out of sympathy of those he fooled, but because of fear.

i see.

What I find most fvcked up is that my gf doesn't think he owe's anyone a refund and it is people's own fault for sending the money.

WOW, she is hawdcore. Even though I am sure you don't agree with her, I bet it makes you happy to have someone with a different view that close to you. It probably even turns you on. In fact it is turning me on right now. Oh no wait, I got turned on because when you mentioned your GF I thought of your old ava.

Flilp, I'd have to agree with your gf. It seems cold, but it's the truth. Think of it like this. You go to a gas station and someone approaches you asking for money, gives you a story, maybe they don't. Or someone on the street asks for change. It is your choice whether you want to give some sort of a donation. I have done so before to someone at a gas station, three months later they feed me the same story. I got scammed, it was only $3 but still, I got scammed for it.

The fact is, you don't know 100% whether the story was true and what it would really be spent on unless you actually received receipts, or if there was an actual death certificate, etc. People put their money into someone else's hands out of good intention, but they ended up getting shafted. Nobody forced anyone to donate, thus, why it is one's own fault if they did donate money.

I agree with his GF too.

No, I am against fraud. My response is clearly this. If people choose to give a donation, it is a CHOICE. Many people CHOSE not to, while others did. Those that did, got screwed. It is becomming difficult to trust people nowadays, so if you decide to give any monetary donations, you need to figure out for sure whether or not the money is going towards the specific cause.

Please don't get confused with what I'm saying. I'm not saying it was right, it is people's own fault because they chose to give money, the didn't have to, but they did. There are other people who are saying, and not in these words "I told you so, or I was going to but decided not to, or I thought something was fishy", does that mean these people are idiots? No, they are actually wise because they didn't buy into a story since they had their doubts and their doubts ended up keeping money in their pocket.

I just don't understand how what I said implied that fraud is ok, let me repeat for the third time. Fraud is not okay. People have a choice whether they wish to donate or not. If people choose to donate, it is at their own will and risk, as was in this case, and them losing their money was their own fault.

She doesn't **** (no pun intended). Yes people got hurt, but they put their trust into someone elses word. These people didnt lose shit compared to what other people lose. I, for example, put my trust into Ronnie, aka hornestnest and got some of the products I paid for, but also didn't receive a few products, a total loss $1,500. Who do I have to blame? Nobody but myself. I chose to give money while others suggested not doing it. Many people got their money back, but unfortunately I was not one of them. There are several others who also got screwed the same way I did. It was our own stupidity where greed overcame logic.
